multiline cell does not allow text entry

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I am attempting to get a multiline cell to work. I have
set the following. 

Column.Alignment =
XTPColumnAlignment.xtpAlignmentWordBreak;

Column.EditOptions.EditControlStyle =
XTPReportEditStyle.xtpEditStyleMultiline;

reportcontrol.PaintManager.FixedRowHeight = false;

My problem is that if a user fills the current length of
the cell with text the report control prevents further input.

 The user then needs to leave that cell and begin editing
again so that another line is added and they can append more text.

 I would have expected that the user could continue to
type and the text would be wrapped to the next line as they were typing.

I have also noticed that if the cell is shorter than the text being pasted from the clipboard the report control does not allow the paste. I would have thought I could paste any length string into a cell and it would be word wrapped to accommodate? 
Also is there a way that the report control can accept
the enter key as input (to add a line break to their text).

I have also submitted a ticket about this Issue #27462
